Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 21 Jul 22
Offering up aromas of orange oil, white peach, jasmine, oyster shell, wet stones and struck flint, the 2020 Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses is full-bodied, ample and layered, with terrific concentration, racy acids and a long, intensely mineral finish. As ever, this wine is more floral-mineral than it is fruity, standing out for its ethereal personality in contradistinction with the blockier, more muscular Les Clos.

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 19 Dec 25
The 2020 Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru is much too young, but I can’t resist. Rich and beautifully layered in the glass, with striking intensity, the 2020 is flat-out gorgeous. Time in the glass brings out gorgeous saline, white pepper and citrus overtones. I would love to own this.
Drinking Date: 2030 - 2050

Chablis

Chablis, the northernmost Burgundy region, is famed for its crisp, mineral-driven Chardonnay wines. Unlike rich, oaky Chardonnays, Chablis wines, influenced by the cool climate and limestone-rich soils, feature vibrant acidity and flavours of green apple, citrus, and flint. Ideal with seafood, especially oysters, Chablis wines come in four appellations: Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru, and Chablis Grand Cru. Esteemed producers like Domaine William Fèvre, François Raveneau, and Vincent Dauvissat are known for their classic, terroir-expressive wines.
